Question

So there are 4 features a bee can have-head, body, horns and wings. In my webpage there will be two bees shown and I need to have all possibilities. (Both bees need to be sharing either 1,2,3,4, or no feature) Can someone help me... Is there some software that would help me compute this? X__x

Answer 1

You need us to write a code snippet or just do the math?

Answer 2

I don't understand what you are trying compute.
The 4 features that there are, how many of each type are there?
Are you trying to find out how many different bees there are?

Answer 3

@butterflyprincess

Answer 4

Well do you know some easy way to compute the code...

Answer 5

some software...
Or do you know how many shared features there will be..

Answer 6

Any GUI? Any specific language in mind?

Answer 7

What do you mean?

Answer 8

And as @mathstudent55 said, we need more information.

Answer 9

See I am writing a JavaScript and I need to do all the possibilities

Answer 10

Yeah, that's the language. I'm asking if it includes graphics or just cmd.

Answer 11

@dumbsearch2

Answer 12

I believe cmd?

Answer 13

I just would like to know if there is a simple way to figure this out

Answer 14

or some way in using combinations to help me figure out all the possibilities

Answer 15

@butterflyprincess There are ways, but we do need more information like if the bees will be vectoring or static or if they will have graphics that the viewer can see etc.

Answer 16

Yes there will be graphics the viewer will see!

Answer 17

That's what I asked before and you said no.

Answer 18

oh sorry

Answer 19

cmd is just command line, GUI is with graphics.

Answer 20

oh sorry u.u

Answer 21

@butterflyprincess How much coding do you know?

Answer 22

A little D:

Answer 23

I am a beginner
so they gave me this task

Answer 24

We do need more info.

Answer 25

mhm like what exactly?

Answer 26

Like everything about the project?

Answer 27

If there are
a number of different heads.
b number of different bodies,
c number of different horns, and
d number of different wings, there are
a * b * c * d different looking bees.

Answer 28

Right so it looks like this [head,body,horns,wings]
an example of one bug is [1 0 0 1]

Answer 29

If you number things from 0 on up, yes, if you start at 1, then an example could be
[1 1 1 1]

Answer 30

So no more coding.
Okay, good luck then.

Answer 31

right yes! @mathstudent55

Answer 32

thanks @primeralph

Answer 33

I don't quite understand the question... what exactly do you need help with? :-)

Answer 34

@dumbsearch2 writing all the possibilities D:

Answer 35

for what?

Answer 36

for the features the bugs may share! Ineed to figure out all the possibilities 2 bugs can share either 1,2,3,4 or no features!

Answer 37

by math?
or code?

Answer 38

Both D: @dumbsearch2

Answer 39

if you know any way please show me because I really need to do this~

Answer 40

You know the algorithm for the code...and need help with coding?

Answer 41

yes please!

Answer 42

So there are 4 features to choose between 2 bees
for No feature common umber of ways 4C0
For 1 feature common number of ways 4C1
For 2 feature common number of ways 4C2
For 3 feature common number of ways 4C3
For 4 feature common number of ways 4C4

Answer 43

you can use the formula for solving nCr to move forward. Hope this helps!

Answer 44

oh so I can use combinations.... @ankit042

Answer 45

Yeah let me explain...so for having one feature common in two birds You have to choose 1 feature from the four given feature which is 4C1. You know how to code this?

Answer 46

OH alright & what do you mean by that exactly..? @ankit042

Answer 47

I am not sure which part is not clear?

Answer 48

now you know how to code the algorithm?

Answer 49

you mean to the JavaScript?
right now I just need to make an excel spreadsheet on ALL the possibilities !

Answer 50

Great! hope this helps

Answer 51

thank you!!

Answer 52

You are welcome!
